i will agree with scarab. tip the cable guy!
having worked for comcast doing cable modem installations, if i got tipped i made sure they were hooked up right.
i have even gone as far as to take my ladder back off the truck, climb my ass up the pole and give someone free HBO after getting a nice tip.
if your not going to grease the palm at least offer something cold to drink, like beer.
didn't you guys ever see the cableguy?
one time i was late to an install, the guy opens the door and yells "you're late", then slams the door in my face. i made sure i circled that prick's address. over the course of the last three years i have cut his cable 6 times and am planning a special interuption for superbowl sunday in january.
i'll get over it sooner or later.
